Vegan.com Facelift and Jonathan Safran Foer Podcast

I've got a couple exciting Vegan.com updates. First, earlier this month, the site got a long-overdue facelift. I hope you enjoy the clean, clutter-free look, and the improved typography.

Second, Jonathan Safran Foer, author of the must-have book Eating Animals, was kind enough to do a 42 minute podcast with me. Jonathan's appearance on my podcast gave me the opportunity to ask him questions he doesn't face when talking to mainstream media. The bulk of our conversation was devoted to discussing approaches for engaging people in reexamining their food choices. If you're somebody who wants to be a more persuasive advocate, I think you'll find this interview of great interest.

Finally, if you aren't yet a reader of my daily blog on Vegan.com, I hope you'll give it a look, and consider subscribing by RSS or email. And, if you haven't done so yet, please consider joining our community at the Vegan.com Facebook Fan Page.
